The Real Mari Gilbert of Netflix's Lost Girls Was Murdered By Her Daughter
Netflix's Lost Girls stars Amy Ryan as Mari Gilbert, the real mom who urged Suffolk County police to search for her missing daughter Shannan Gilbert.
Shannan's missing persons case led police to discover ten sets of remains, now attributed to the Long Island Serial Killer (or several killers).
Mari Gilbert was murdered by one of her daughter, Sarra Gilbert, in July of 2016—five years after the events of Lost Girls.
Lost Girls, a new Netflix movie helmed by Emmy-winning documentary director Liz Garbus, tells the true story of the deaths of Shannan Gilbert and several victims of the Gilgo Beach murders. Based on Robert Kolker's book of the same name, the film is centered on Mari Gilbert, Shannan's outspoken mother, who worked alongside several other victims' families to press Long Island police into action. Mari Gilbert never stopped fighting for the truth about how her daughter—who was a sex worker—died, drawing attention to the lower priority authorities placed on solving crimes against sex workers, the investigation Kolker wrote about suggests.
